The Office for National Statistics published census tables (published on
25th July 2014) on travel to work flows as part of a release or UK
Origin Destination statistics (See footnote for more details)
These tables allow more detailed analysis of the way people travel to work, in particular subdividing workers depending on where they are resident. The following analysis was carried out for Glasgow City, where workers were subdivided into those living in Glasgow and others living outwith Glasgow in other parts of Scotland.
As expected there is a much percentage of workers travel into Glasgow by car from surrounding areas, than travel from within Glasgow (59% compared with 40%) . Similarly marked differences with those travelling by train 24% compared with 9%. Bus travel is reported by 14% of workers travelling into Glasgow from outwith, compared with 24% of workers travelling from within the city.
Compared with 2001 , the main changes in the methods of transport used are
i) For those travelling from within Glasgow
3 percent point increase in travel by train
2 percent point decrease in travel by bus
2 percent point decrease in travel by car (driving)
2 percent point decrease in passenger in a car
1 percent point increase in travel by bike
3 percent point increase in travel by foot
ii) For those travelling from outwith Glasgow
6 percent point increase in travel by train
3 percent point decrease in travel by bus
2 percent point decrease in passenger in a car
Footnote: Origin Destination
Origin destination statistics are census tables which deal with movement/ flow of people; either as migration (from their address one year ago before the census) or travel to work or study (to their workplace address). These flows can be cross-tabulated by other variables of interest (for example, method of travel).
The first batch of this data is now available from NOMIS (published 25th July 2014), and cover the following for Scotland, down to local authority level:
The tables are published here Reference tables
Future releases will cover smaller areas below local authority. Information on proposed timetables and release details can be found here plans for further releases
